Hey guys, I just ordered a Toytec Ultimate Lift Kit this past weekend, and it should be here on Thursday. I quoted one of the shops down here for the install, and the quote was at LEAST $350. I really don't feel like spending that much on labor costs, but I also don't have enough experience to tackle this myself.

Is there anyone who would like to help me out? I can meet wherever, and I can bring whatever you don't have (besides a spring compressor). I'll pay you too!

If I don't find anyone, I guess I'm shelling out for the install on Friday!

Well actually, as long as the price is reasonable I don't mind paying it. I also got off the phone with someone I have worked with in the past on my '98 4Runner and he recommended that I get it done by the shop, since it is a new truck and still under warranty.

If you do it yourself, take the parts to a shop to put the coilover together for you. They charge anywhere from $30-$50. Better than trying to compress the spring yourself. Two weeks ago I helped a friend change out the struts and we found a shop that did it for $25. Everything else is several bolts. Take out the old crap and install the new crap. Don't pay someone $350 to do it.

I can help you out and I've got the tools for this, except for a spring compressor, but it does seem like this is a complete bolt on kit. Only thing is, I don't have access to a garage. If you do, I'd be willing to drive to you.
